The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the
commit 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value.

This adds DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

Fixes: 488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write()")

This patch itself isn't a fix. The fixes tags belong to the other patches that make use of this.
